I bought them from Wesco's Seconds page, but they're the same build as the Packers that Division Road sells:

In what way are those boots seconds? They look incredible… Going to check the site regularly from now but with the UK taxes & shipping cost, the boots aren't that cheap unfortunately..

@EJS  The back of the heel wasn't lasted perfectly, so there are some very minor bumps in the leather, where it was tucked-in between the insole and midsole.  It's so minor that they'd probably qualify as firsts to other bootmakers.

HI
I'll need new heels for my Wescos. Anybody have a source for Vibram 700 heels in Natural?
Need what I believe size"12.

Thanks

[Chris]

Like these, just in natural, not black?

Panhandle is a great place, and they might be able to get some.  If you want, I can give them a call and ask.  They don't ship internationally, but I can toss the heels in an envelope and send them your way.  I need to order some stuff from them, so it's no big deal.

Yes just those. But in natural (thats very dark Brown).  If they don't have then, I think I can live with Black ones.

I could take 2 pairs, if that's not too much trouble,

Just pulled the trigger on my first pair of wescos (factory seconds). Hope they fit! Will post up pics when they come in.

I went 9 months before doing anything with the veg on my Jobmasters. The leather softens considerably with wear.

hmm okay

i guess im used to over conditioned leather cause every time i get a new pair of boots i lather them in something. also im used to that quick break in of horween CXL.

guess ill give these time and break them in w/o anything
